IND-W vs SL-W, 3rd T20I Match Prediction: Who will win today’s game between India Women and Sri Lanka Women?
India Women enter the third T20I in Thiruvananthapuram with a commanding 2-0 lead in the five-match series. After two ruthless performances in Visakhapatnam, the “Women in Blue” are just one win away from sealing the series trophy. For Sri Lanka, it is a do-or-die situation; they must find a way to dismantle a high-flying Indian side that has dominated every department so far.
India have looked clinical. In the first T20I, Jemimah Rodrigues anchored the chase, while the second saw an explosive Shafali Verma dismantle the Sri Lankan attack. The visitors have struggled to post competitive totals, managing only 121 and 128 in the first two games. While they start well, they have suffered spectacular collapses, and they will hope to outcome from this approach.

Greenfield International Stadium Pitch Report
The Greenfield International Stadium surface is generally batting-friendly with a fast outfield. However, being a coastal city, humidity will play a role, and dew is expected to be a major factor in the second innings. The captain winning the toss is likely to bowl first to take advantage of easier batting conditions under the lights and avoid the dew while bowling.
